Mindful Self Compassion (MSC) Course
Tricia Stern, LCSW, MPH & Teresa Keller

Research shows that self-compassion is strongly associated with:
​
emotional wellbeing and resiliency,
​
better ability to cope with life's challenges,
​
lower levels of anxiety and depression,
​
healthy habits such as diet and exercise, &
​
more satisfying relationships
​
It is an inner strength that enables us to be more fully human—to acknowledge our shortcomings, learn from them, and make necessary changes with an attitude of kindness and self-respect.
